I'm pretty new at how all the pc stuff works so I was not expecting what is currently happening at all. My old motherboard and cpu combo was an MSI z97 PC Mate + i7 4770k. I picked up a 4790k and thought great I can just put it in plug and play.
What happens is during that time as i'm replacing the cpus one pin on the socket gets bent. I grab a magnifying glass and some tweezers and push it back in place. What I don't notice is that one of the tiny devils is stuck on the other and as I push it back it breaks the one under it.
I google around and learn that I have essentially killed the board doing that and lose it. Fast-forward 2 days I get a new motherboard from a friend for cheap. After being very careful, plugging in everything correctly and then turning it on to my surprise the computer won't post.
After messing with it a lot I am now able to get into bios but everything else I try meets with a crash. When I get to the desktop or safe mode it instantly hangs.
What can I do now?
